Surrounded by jungle and spice plantations, lovely Varnam is an oasis of calm 3km south of Katikulam in northern Wayanad. Varghese and Beena will look after you with Wayanad stories, local information and delicious home cooking using organic farm-fresh ingredients. Rooms are in the traditional 50-year-old family home or an elevated 'tree-house' villa, and there's a pool on the way.
Trekking, transport, farm tours, spice shopping and walks to Adivasi villages can be arranged.
